the Milwaukee Brewers. I'm not convinced that they can win their division or win the wildcard, but I could see them winning 90-95 games.

Their starting pitching is great, especially with a healthy Ben Sheets. They have a dominant closer in Derrick Turnbow. Their core group of players is very good, probably one of the best young infields in baseball.

They have got talent that is for sure. Their biggest problem is they are in the same division as the Cardinals. I think they have got an excellent shot at making the Wild Card.

For the AL, it will be the Blue Jays. They are looking strong and are due for a post season appearance.

For the NL, it looks like it will be the Mets. They have a dominant closer, Randolph is still manager, and they finally got a decent catcher. Both teams will be Wild Cards in their league.

Brewers have a shot.

But between the Braves, Mets, and Phillies, there are two serious wildcard contenders left in there (after one wins the division)- on paper at least.
Who knows when the year begins, of course.
